Nvidia's GTX-480 (Fermi, GF100) Review

Posted on 2010-03-27 00:42:56 by Thomas De Maesschalck

We've all been waiting for Fermi for so long that when it finally came through the door, it was almost like a dream. With a newly redesigned core and 3.2 Billion transistors and 512 CUDA cores (480 exposed), the GTX-480 is one cutting edge powerful GPU you won't want to miss. The addition of DirectX capabilities and a GPU that can churn through Tessellation like no other.

Nvidia upped the ante with Nvidia Surround and Nvidia 3D Surround, and now you can span a game or application across 3 screens. Nvidia's 3D vision has always been one of our favorite gaming methods and now you can game in 3D on three monitors. The 3D Surround (and regular Surround) will require 2 Nvidia GTX-2xx or GTX-4xx GPU's but with the GPU power required to span across three full sized monitors, we would highly recommend GF100 (Fermi) class GPU's.

So you're perfectly OK with the 208F heat buildup and 400watt max power draw, and the chance it may set your house on fire? Or that the Radeons cost less for about the same performance? Okay. I'll stick with my 9800GTX+ OC 1GB thanks very much.
